Question on Savage 22 Rifle

[oldcoot]

I have been wanting a good shooting 22 rifle and have heard about the savage, I looked them up and they are black plastic evil guns, do they make one that shoots good with a regular word or fiberglass stock?

The TR-22 is very good. It has a wood stock painted black to look tacti-kewl. Despite that, it shoots CCI Green Tag and Ely Match very, very well.

The black plastic stocked versions shoot very well in my experience. True, it seems that the stock is made from recycled Rubbermaid totes, but they are shooters. Savage has versions with laminate stocks from the factory (BV I think) or you could spring for a Boyd’s or the like. My FV-SR is in a Boyd’s laminate thumb hole stock and has been a great shooter for the last 10 years. Not a great extractor, but shooter it is.

Here is how to decode Savage MkII models. If the first letter is G- solid wood stock, F - synthetic stock, B - Boyd's laminate stock. Second letter: Y - youth, V - varmint barrel (heavy barrel), T - thumbhole stock, S or SS - stainless steal . A T at the end - target peep sights. The -SR means suppressor ready (threaded barrel), XP - scope package. Boyd's makes all of the OEM laminate stocks for Savage.

G = wood stock and shorter (skinny) barrel
GY = wood stock youth model
GL = wood stock, left hand
BV = Boyds stock, varmint barrel
BTV = Boyds thumbhole stock, varmint barrel
BTVLSS = Boyds thumbhole, varmint barrel, left hand, stainless steal
F = synthetic stock
FV = synthetic stock, varmint barrel
FV-SR = synthetic stock, varmint barrel, suppressor ready

I'm sure there are some that I missed. You get the basic idea how to decode the different models of the MkII.

The synthetic stocks aren't bad as long as the barrels are free floated properly. I have a GLV in 17m2 and a BTVLSS in 22 lr that shoot great.

Just funning ya.

I bought the barrel length and contour I wanted and put it in a Boyd’s ProVarmint stock. Taking an FV/SR and turning it into TTR/SR in a 16” barrel instead of 20”. For much less than I could get a TTR for.

Then I painted it all matte black, as the Boyd’s paint was a little light in spots.

Have you seen the new Boyd’s AT-One stocks? Those looks like a treat!
